ASC Engineered Solutions 310546205 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What pipe sizes does the ASC Engineered Solutions 3 x 2 extra heavy black malleable iron reducer connect?
It steps 3 inch pipe down to 2 inch pipe. Both ends are female pipe thread (FPT), so it threads onto male-threaded pipe ends or nipples on each side. Threads are cut to ASME B1.20.1, the standard NPT thread spec, so it mates with ordinary threaded steel or iron pipe.
2) Is this reducer approved for fire sprinkler piping?
Yes, the 3 x 2 extra heavy black malleable iron reducer carries UL/FM approval, which is what a fire protection inspector looks for on threaded fittings in a sprinkler main. It is built to ASME B16.3 for both dimensions and pressure rating, with ASME B1.20.1 threads.
3) Can I use a black malleable iron reducer on a potable water line?
No. Black malleable iron is for gas, fire protection, steam, and closed-loop or non-potable service. The black finish has no corrosion protection against fresh water, so for potable water you want a galvanized fitting or another material entirely. The body here is malleable iron to ASTM A-197 with a black finish.
4) What is the difference between an XH and a standard black malleable iron reducer?
XH means extra heavy, Class 300 in ASME B16.3 terms: thicker walls and a higher pressure rating than the standard Class 150 fitting of the same 3 x 2 size. Use XH where the system pressure, or the spec on the drawing, calls for Class 300. If your drawing just says standard black malleable, the lighter Class 150 fitting is the correct part and this one is heavier and bulkier than you need.
5) What is the ASC Engineered Solutions part number for the 3 x 2 extra heavy black reducer?
The manufacturer part number is 310546205. That is the identifier to quote when matching an existing fitting or standardizing a facility on one Class 300 threaded reducer.
